SHA-1 Hash Generator is a minimalistic Mac OS X application designed to convert text strings into SHA-1 hex equivalents with just a click of a button. The app is extremely easy-to-use and comes with a straightforward interface that anyone can master within seconds.

In SHA-1 Hash Generator’s main window, you can simply copy / paste a text string or type it manually and then click the “Generate” button to calculate its SHA-1 Hash representation.

Note that the application does not support calculating the SHA-1 checksum of text contained within files. It only allows you to convert strings that you have entered within SHA-1 Hash Generator’s box.

Furthermore, SHA-1 Hash Generator can come in handy to you, if you are doing web design or web development or if you are working on the security side of a software project.

The SHA-1 hash code will be instantly generated after clicking the button. What’s more, it is displayed in a green color and can be copied to your clipboard like any piece of text in a text editor.

To sum up, SHA-1 Hash Generator is a lightweight and super simple OS X app with a self-explanatory name. Using this application, generating SHA-1 hashes for your text strings is a simple procedure.
